When two identical resistors are connected in series to an ideal cell, the current through each resistor is 2 A . If the resistors are connected in parallel to the cell, the current through each resistor is

  1. A 4 A
  2. B 2 A
  3. C 8 A
  4. D 1 A
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 4 A

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For series combination of resistors, \(V=I R s=I(2 R)=2 \times 2 R=4 R\) For parallel combination of resistors, \(I=\frac{V}{R_P}=\frac{4 R}{\left(\frac{R \times R}{R+R}\right)}=8 \mathrm{~A}\) \(\therefore\) Current through each resistor is…
